Top Five Reasons to Visit Santa Ponsa Mallorca

Two years ago my family and I had the pleasure of holidaying in a little place called Santa Ponsa in the country of Mallorca. We enjoyed that vacation so much that we inevitably decided to head back there this year.

But why go back to the same place twice you ask?

Well that's what I am here to tell you. This small town in the South West of Majorca is extremely popular area with tourists and I'm sure you'll be able see why with plenty of shops and bars, even the obligatory mini golf and it's also still within reach of places like Palma on public transport of via taxi but these aren't the top reasons why you should consider taking your next break in this beautiful place.

With that in mind, here are

My Top Five Reasons Why I Think You Should Book a Family Holiday in Santa Ponsa, Mallorca:

1. Beautiful beaches - Maybe an obvious first choice because yes you get beaches wherever you choose to go on holiday but many of them require you to either walk some distance or even jump on a bus to reach your destination. At Santa Ponsa the beach is literally on your doorstep and it seems to go on for miles. With all the usual ammenities available when there like sun-beds, pedalos and showers for cleaning off. It's perfect for families and couples. Whether you are one to lay in the sun, jump in the sea for a swim or play in the sand, you'll definitely find yourself comfortable here. We often chose to walk round late afternoon/early evening time, slightly quieter and a little cooler too.

It's the Summer holidays and even though we haven't actually gone abroad this year, the kids and I have been making the most of our time away from school and this year we've had a bit of company. 

Parks, Books and Getting Creative

I can't believe we are already half way through the Summer holidays, it has literally flown by so far and luckily we have been blessed with good weather for the majority of it. We have filled our days with so many activities and I wanted to share with you some of what we've been up to, perhaps give you some ideas of free things to do including park trips, reading lots of books and getting creative on those rainy days.


One of the things we've been doing a lot of is going to the park. This doesn't cost a penny and we're are very lucky to have quite a few parks local to us so we can go to a different one each time. Our favourite has to be Connaught park as it is only 5 minutes up the road from us and there is plenty of space to wonder around as well as an enclosed park to play in.

The Importance of Summer Holidays

The Summer holidays is a time that divide peoples opinions. Some think that they are too long and that both kids and parents become bored very quickly. Others, like myself look forward to them, we find them necessary. I find myself on count down for the Summer holidays as soon as my children go back to school in September.

There are a few reasons why I feel this long period away from school benefits both child and parent :

* Studying/learning from long periods of time can lead to boredom, kids not concentrating as hard. This last term for my girls was 8 weeks long, it seemed to really drag and now we are nearing the end my kids attitude towards school and work has really changed, they've gone from enthusiastic to can't be bothered. I think this shows that a break is needed, in a sense it gives them time to miss what they've been doing.

* A long break from school gives our minds time to refresh, to recuperate. I mean our body needs time to recover when it exercises so surely our brains should be given the same option. Learning is tough at times, especially when you struggle in a certain subject, so really the Summer holidays are just giving us time as a family at home to settle down and destress together.
